No full textAbstract: The correspondence of a Birmingham, Alabama, mining engineer, businessman, poet, and public servant. The collection also includes a small group of papers of Adams' son, John R. Adams, an attorney and realtor.Scope and Content Note: The collection consists of John H. Adams's and his son, John R. Adams's, business correspondence. For the most part the correspondence is typewritten and covers primarily the decade of the 1920s. The elder Adams's outgoing correspondence is about half the size of his incoming correspondence, with much of the latter from J. A. Curtis and C. H. Judkins, businessmen and attorneys at law in Cleveland, Ohio. His son's outgoing business correspondence is about three times the size of his incoming correspondence. The correspondence pertains primarily to their mining interests and their company, O'Neals Lime Works Inc. There is a prominent and unexplained gap in both father and son's business correspondence between 1914 and 1922-23. The collection also includes mineral deposit maps of the Tuscaloosa - Birmingham area and material about the Vulcan statue and Vulcan Park in Birmingham. Miscellaneous items include a limited number of various personal and business bills and receipts, unidentified correspondence, credit and financial reports, abstracts, undated mining notes, and mimeographed reports.Biographical/Historical Note: John H. Adams (1857-1949) was a mining engineer, businessman, poet, and Birmingham public servant. His son, John R. Adams, known also as Jack Adams and J. Reese Adams, was an attorney, realtor, and businessman. The elder Adams was elected Director from Alabama of the Engineering Association of the Southwest in 1889, and also appointed member of the Standing Committee on Rooms and Library of the same organization. That year he also became superintendent of the Sloss Iron & Steel Company. In 1906 he was chosen as Vice-president, Sayre Mining & Manufacturing Co., and his prominence in the Birmingham business community led to his selection as chairman of the city's Chamber of Commerce. He was also associated with numerous other firms and civic organizations, among them the Birmingham Farm Garden (1913), the Northern Kentucky Coal Mining Company (Treasurer, 1913), the Birmingham Trussville Iron Company (General Manager, 1918), Alales Construction Company (1923), O'Neal's Lime Works (President & General Manager, 1923), the Birmingham Zoning Board of Adjustment (Chairman, 1929), Birmingham College (Trustee, 1939), the Masons, Cleveland-Alabama Mining Company, and Republic Iron & Steel Company (General Manager).

ABSCONDED. WALTER R. GROFF.
The above is a good picture of WALTER R. GROFF, ex-Cashier, ADAMS EXPRESS COMPANY, Dayton, Ohio, who absconded from that city night of November 6th, 1899, taking with him money belonging to the Adams Express Company. His description is as follows: 27 years old; weight 160 pounds; height 5 feet 9 inches; black hair; blue. eyes; brown mustache; lips nearly always slightly parted, ex posing teeth; has prominent Adams Apple; suffers from catarrh, causing him to hawk and spit a great deal. When he left had a large pimple on his face, on the left side of base of nose; is slightly deaf; had a light-colored, rather short cut overcoat which he took with him and would probably wear. He is a telegraph operator and may seek employment of that kind. THE ADAMS EXPRESS COMPANY will pay a suitable reward for GROFF'S arrest, on charge of embezzlement.
